That is why I said most not all. Some do some don't.

The amount of time depends on a lot of factors. Where ground zero is in relation to where you are. Wind current is also a factor.

Let's say one hits LA. I am in San Diego so we would not be effected by the bomb itself but we would get fallout. It takes roughly 2 hours for a normal storm to reach us from LA so I know we would have roughly that much time before we recieved fall out. Once the fall out starts the clock starts ticking. There are charts online that show how long cover is needed before the threat is gone. On average it is 2-4 weeks. Longer the closer you are.

The big thing to know is mass and distance. Put as much as you can between you and fall out.

Oh goodness. This isn't going to be a matter of getting away from the fallout of a single hit on a single city.
